I’ve been to the central for dinner yesterday and saw a new “night market” being setup for the festive season. And then there was a huge crowd around a certain machine …
It’s the UFO catcher machine! The one you can try catching softtoys by controlling a claw…
It’s never easy and I saw quite a few failure… but of course there are some winners (but on a much lower percentage!)
The girl in the photo, she didn’t get anything after 3 tries!

I have lost many quarters in these machines with nothing!
Hmm… perhaps you had fun?
Anyway, they’re indeed tempting …
whenever I walk pass one, I feel like trying … :p
We also have such appliances … I think they are a little adapted to difficult to win
I guess its how they make money but then if you do win anything, I see the winners jumping in joy!!
my sister got crazy with this she goes home from work with a lot of little stuff toys every night.
Wow! Do she share her tips and tricks? lol
i really have no idea and how much money she spent
Able to bring some back is pretty impressive already!
I enjoy watching people play real-life on a phone app …
some really spent ALOT and gets nothing!
ahhh ahaha… seriously.. phone apps? that’s crazier.
Yes, it’s crazy!!
I was wondering how they do the live controlling over phone app!!
lol.. it’s funnny how people became slaves of their phones. I saw a woman shaking her phone really hard apparently she will get coins from an online store apps. i don’t know how she got.
I know a similar machine where we pulled out cigarettes … there was little success
Wow, people get really creative with the machines!
Exactly so … just to get to the money … it’s not as easy as it seems cigarettes that are wrapped in cellophane … quickly fall down
Yes, I can imagine that and usually the claws aren’t made to be able to hold steadily and then there is a “jerk” when the claw reached the top …
That’s right … we said this … a tax for fools
Lol, you guys do have a great sense of humour 😀
